★ This data plate is manufactured to original specifications and is fitted with the correct early-style rivets for proper attachment to the side of the distributor housing.
Application
Suitable for vehicles fitted with Autolite IGC-4705 early open-type distributor. This distributor type was used on early WWII jeeps (1941-1944) before the later IAD-4008 dustproof distributor was introduced (October/November 1944). Always verify the number on your distributor housing to determine the correct version.
Installation notes
The plate is riveted to the side of the distributor housing. The supplied early-style rivets should be used for period-correct installation. Before fitting, verify that the type number (IGC-4705) matches the number on your distributor.
Compatibility
ONLY for Autolite IGC-4705 early open-type distributor with lower housing. NOT compatible with the later IAD-4008 dustproof distributor (taller housing, introduced late 1944). The distributor type can be identified by housing height: IGC-4705 has a lower, open-type housing, IAD-4008 has a taller dustproof housing.
Historical context
The Autolite IGC-4705 was the standard distributor on early WWII jeeps until the introduction of the improved dustproof IAD-4008 version in autumn 1944. The identification plate on the housing was essential for maintenance and repair purposes.
